The Guyana Police Force (GPF) has issued a wanted bulletin for Carlton Newbourne Waldron, wanted for questioning in relation to the murder of 19-year-old Dequan Pyle of Laing Avenue, West Ruimveldt, Georgetown, which was reportedly committed on June 17, 2023.
Police have said the wanted man Waldron may have been involved in Pyle’s killing, or may possess vital information to help solve the case. His last known address is Lot 100 Rabindra Street, South Annandale, East Coast Demerara (ECD).
It was reported that on the day in question, Pyle was trying to part a fight between his sisters and a group of females in the neighbourhood when the male partners of the other females also intervened.
The Police say that one of the males, who was armed with a piece of wood, hit the teenager to the back of his head, causing him to fall to the ground, where he became motionless. The suspect then dropped the piece of wood, and he and the others began to pelt bottles and bricks at the now-dead teenager’s relatives before making good their escape.
Pyle was picked up and taken to the Georgetown Public Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor on duty. According to the Police, efforts are in progress to locate the 30-year-old male suspect and his accomplices.
Meanwhile, the incident that led to the death of the teenager has resulted in tensions flaring in the area. In fact, hours later, the Laing Avenue home of the alleged killer was set on fire, and it reportedly ripped through the small wooden house. At the time of the inferno, no one was at home.
